Ferris Road festivities mark bridge milestone

We’re removing 4 dangerous and congested level crossings at Coburns Road, Exford Road and Ferris Road in Melton, and at Hopkins Road in Truganina, and building a new modern and accessible Melton Station.
About 73,000 vehicles travel through these crossings each day, with the boom gates down for up to 28 minutes of the morning peak.
Removing these level crossings and building a new Melton Station will make journeys safer and travel times more reliable.
Planned timeline
All 4 level crossings have been removed and the new Melton Station opened on Tuesday 1 September, with extended platforms ready for 9-car VLocity trains to run on the line in 2027, and future-proofed for electrification.
Work will continue around the station precinct over the coming months on the northern forecourt, air-conditioned waiting room, bus interchange, landscaping and car parks.
These works will be complete in early 2027.
